Thinking of you

Just a quick post to share a "thinking of you" card.  Cards like this are wonderful to have on hand for nearly any occasion and are great to make to give away or sell.

My image is a colored Resting Bird from Doodle Pantry.   The DP is Authentique "Journey."  My sentiment is TPC Studios.    Ribbon from my stash and black adhesive pearls finish it off.

Tuesday Morning Sketches #238

Happy birthday to my third daughter today!!  Our beautiful Brenna is 14 years old!   My kids are growing up way too quickly!!  Sniff, sniff!   But I do have to say that I'm loving them at these ages!!   (After November we will have 4 teenagers!!)

At Tuesday Morning Sketches this week, we've got another wonderful sketch and sponsor!!

My DP is Prima "Believe."  I embossed the DP with "Fall Leaf BG" by Darice.  The colored image and sentiment are from Doodle Pantry Tree Glee 2.   My panels were cut out using Spellbinders Petite Ovals Small and Large.  The dotted ribbon is AC and the other bits are from my ribbon scrap jar. 

Here's the sketch...

The Greatest Love - TMS #237

Wow!  I have not posted since my TMS post a week ago!  My week was a little crazy AND I love the Olympics, so I that's why I haven't shared anything!  :-O   I did do some creating though, and will have some things to show you soon. 

Today it's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!! :)    We've got a great sketch and a great sponsor!   Here is my card...

I am thrilled with this card!!  As we look forward to Easter and celebrating the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, this image brought so many verses to mind, but John 15:13 says, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."  Truly, that is the greatest love!!!

This week, Melissa chose her favorite from last year and we're playing with sketch # 212 from Aug. 20/13.   It's another awesome blast from the past that is a wonderful sketch to work with!!   

Our sponsor is Stitchy Bear's Digi Outlet.    You could win a $10 shopping voucher!!!

My image is Stitchy Bear's Easter Lily colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.   My DP is MME "Cherish" and I used both sides.  The embossing was done using CB Swiss Dots and Paper Studio "Wood Grain" embossing folders.  The sentiment is from Doodle Pantry Jesus Paid It All.  I finished it off with a double fork bow and a few adhesive pearls.

Sick of snow?

**Scroll down or click HERE for my TMS post**

Are you sick of snow?  I laughed all the way through making this card because I honestly do not think the words, "I'm so sick of snow" have EVER crossed my lips!!!   In fact, I'm excited that it supposed to snow overnight tonight... we're in the 10"-15" area!!  :)

I made this because I finally got to play with my new stamps!!!  I was very excited because I knew before Christmas that I was going to get a set of Peachy Keen Stamps as a gift, but you may remember that Christmas Day did not go as planned... I spent it in the hospital! :/   Since then, most of my cards have been made for DT commitments or because I needed them.   My new stamps have been sitting there calling me and I finally had took made the time to play with them!  

Sooooooo... here it is!!

 

My image and sentiment are from PKSC-23 November Release.  I thought the snowman's grumpy face was perfect for that sentiment!!  My DP is fancy pants "winterland."

 

Challenges...

Playing in Paradise #9 - "Frosty, frosty, frosty"

Babies are a Blessing - TMS #235

Good morning to you!!  I'm glad you stopped by to visit!! :)

Today, I have a baby card for you!  I will have to admit that I don't keep many baby cards on hand because it seems that when I need one, I don't think that what I have is suitable for the recipient, so I make one then and after that happening several times, I just stopped making them ahead.  {Wow!  Sorry for the run on sentence!!!}

It's Tuesday, and it's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches and I actually did make a baby card!! 

Our sponsor this week is Patti R, a Close To My Heart consultant.   Thank you so much, Patti!!  She provided the team with images for this week's sketch.  My image is CTMH Baby Carriage colored with my Spectrum Noir markers.  My DP is the Paper Studio "Sweet Pea."  I love this stack!  It has wonderful paper for girl, boy, or either!!   The sentiment is Fiskars "Precious Baby Quotes."  I also used my Spellbinders Circles and Lacy Circles.

This week,  Jessi is our 'hostess' and she chose sketch #204 from June 25/13.  Another wonderful sketch that we are happy to revisit!

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to go check out the creations from the rest of our DT...
